OK so that means just like in the God of War games he no longer has that vengeance and the main reason for his rage will not be there anymore. His reasons for all that rage are gone now that he has accomplished his main goal. Kratos will suffer the same fate as Atrocitus and lose his power level now that the main reason for his rage is no more. He has nothing else to back his rage.

So, it definitely comes down to Maul and Kratos. I think Kratos has enough raw rage to overpower Maul and would have really creative constructs-- like hydras, lances, and other God-themed things. HOWEVER, Maul is strategic and was trained to use his rage as a tool, not as something to throw around. I think what would defeat Kratos here is the fact that rings need to be recharged... He'd throw around energy needlessly while Maul would conserve it. Plus, wasn't Kratos in another fight before this? He wouldn't have been able to recharge the ring from last time. How will Maul even be able to hurt Kratos? Lightsaber? The lightsaber is a valid weapon, and obvious one too. Kratos, however, can defend himself from one by means of the Golden Fleece, the Phalanx defense, and also Rage mode which renders him impervious to physical harm. On a side note, Kratos could also summon a Medusa through the Claws of Hades to turn his enemies into stone... I could honestly see Kratos overwhelming his adversaries quickly enough for conservation of energy not to be too much of a hindrance. Kratos lost his need for vengeance when he impaled himself with the blade of olympus and has no more rage left after God of War III. Was it ever said where in the games Kratos was for this battle before he got the ring? It seemed to me when he yelled at Namor the gods couldn't smite me it was referring to Kratos after he beat the gods. Vengeance =/= Rage
That's the whole idea behind the story. He could kill every god in Olympus and still never find peace, which you would think would probably make you a little mad. The only way for him to be completely devoid of all rage as you want people to believe, is if he accepted responsibility, forgave himself and the gods, and lived his life. That's not what the story seems to describe.

He beat them after becoming a Red Lantern. I wish I could have played that version of God of War 3.

I could easily say his power will go up once he realizes that after killing the gods, he still hasn't found peace and has nothing but more blood on his hands. |

I'm just going to say it, but Kratos is a very unsympathetic character. Even though he killed his wife, he still sleeps with every woman with big tits he sees, and his whole motivation is wiping out an entire species who only serve to protect the world from falling apart. Granted, his design, powers, weapons, and badass voice are all cool, but he would actually make more sense as a villain instead of a hero.

He doesn't just sleep with every woman... sometimes, there are two. And yeah, I agree. It's the gameplay and the visuals I love in the GoW series.

Thing is though, God of War is actually incredibly accurate to Greek mythology and shows how ideals like morality and true heroism have changed. As it says on TV Tropes, God of War is actually quite tame compared to some Greek legends, some of which are downright disturbing, and that Kratos, if he were created in Ancient Greece, would have been hailed as a legendary hero and warrior.
